)
 Sztakipedia

One of our members has been working on a project called Sztakipedia that
would enhance the editing experience on Wikipedia by providing category,
internal link and reference suggestions.

As part of this work, a user survey was conducted in March. A demo and
further information on the project is available at: http://pedia.sztaki.hu (in
English and Hungarian), results of the survey (in Hungarian) at:
http://pedia.sztaki.hu/survey_result_hu.html
 Meetings

   - 7: We held a small meeting to discuss the marketing needs and
   possibilities of the Wikimedia projects and Wikimedia Hungary's possible
   role in that.
   - Our president met with a local stock photo agency to discuss their
   policy with regard to public domain images that are present both in their
   database as well as Wikimedia Commons.

Fundraising

Wikimedia Hungary participated in the 2009/10 Fundraising, and as part of
the agreement agreed to transfer half of the revenue collected to the
Wikimedia Foundation.

In the Fundraiser Wikimedia Hungary collected 5.7 million forints, and out
of that transferred $11 210.66 to the Wikimedia Foundation. Following the
end of the fundraiser, our donation revenue for March was 8521 forints.
 Small grants programme

Wikimedia Hungary has approved a small grant to purchase an orthographic
dictionary and detailed Hungarian grammar to help one bot programmer in his
work on the Hungarian Wikipedia.

A report on the effect of the grant (in Hungarian) is available in our
blog:
